Burgundy Wine Tour Highlights

Discover Burgundy’s “Climats”

In Burgundy, “terroir” is shaped by the unique and authentic chemistry between the grape varieties, the natural conditions and the passionate workmanship of the men and women who make the wines. Burgundy’s wines are known for their Climats, small plots of land with distinct geology and microclimates that give each wine its unique character. The notion of the “Climat” is the ultimate expression of Burgundian terroir. Benefiting from a specific blend of specific geological and climatic conditions give Burgundian wines their exceptional qualities. The climat is unique to this area. There are 600 Climats referenced in Burgundy.
